The evenings are getting nice and crisp around these parts. That calls for none other than a hearty bowl of soup. One of my favorites comes from my K-12 Private School cookbook. That’s one of my most beloved sources of recipes! While in a rut a few years ago, I was thumbing through and discovered a wonderful corn and bacon chowder. I’ve modified it from time to time to use ham or whatever else I think might be good in it as well. But, no matter what meat I include (or don’t) in it, ah…it’s simply marvelous. AND it’s easy. This took me less than 5 minutes to make tonight. The longest part was finding my manual can opener because my electric one died. I should’ve timed myself. You’d have thought I’d spent all day on it! The next cool night you have, give this a try!
